Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Ubisoft Toronto · 2013

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist is a 2013 action-adventure stealth game developed by Ubisoft Toronto — its debut project. It gives players three clear paths: silent infiltration, aggressive stealth, or direct combat — each supported by tools like the Tri-Rotor drone, light destruction, corpse hiding, and sensor goggles. It runs in third-person. Players rotate the camera, crouch, run, and scale ledges. Killing alerts enemies who see corpses — so hiding bodies is essential. The game’s strength is its tight, readable cause-and-effect loop. Its weakness is the separation of its systems: stealth, action, and progression never fully converge.
